The Million Dollar Homepage

Want to see an enterprising online idea? The Million dollar Home Page is an attempt by one young business student to pay his university fees by selling advertising on a site – one pixel at a time. A pixel costs $1 and there are 1,000,000 of them up for grabs.

You have to buy them in 100 pixel blocks ($100 a pop) but people are buying them and he reported on his blog yesterday that he’s already paid for his 3 years of college fees completely.

Of course – a lot of those buying pixel are poker pages and affiliate programs by the looks of things – but he’s doing ok out of it and is reporting that each advertisers is getting good click-throughs for their money.

They are even offering to pay the first 1,000 bloggers $100 per post if they reach their goal of $1,000,000 – Check it out: http://www.milliondollarcouple.com

How much do you guys think will Alex fetch for those ‘last 1000 pixels’ on eBay? As I write this, his auction is already at $21,400, and there’s still almost 9 days to go! Amazing, and -as is this whole ‘pixel sites adventure’ SO inspiring!

I have to admit that I was a little jealous about Alex Tew’s success. I then made the decision to create my own concept called http://www.ebizproject.com launched in the hopes to attract advertisers who first believe that online advertising will play a key role moving forward, as well as others who want to have a little piece of Internet history in the making.

I only started it a couple of days ago and I already have 4 major sponsers (who’s ads are still in the process of completing). Pretty wild – and I might be able to payoff my kids college once they go!

Enough about pixels! Personally, I am sick of them and prefer ’seconds’ anyway. That’s why I created advertseconds.com. Please help me publicize this damn site…it is hard enough with all this talk about Mr. Tew!!!

i feel here 2 things , what people can accomplish for selling pixels
and then there are free advertising in which i do. , so whats the catch
it took me over 6 mnths to hit 180,000 people
now it takes him less than no time to make 1mill

A funny copy of the million dollar website has emerged. The Million Dollar Bush site allows you to purchase advertising pixels to cover a picture of Geroge W Bush, Cover the lies & Advertise .

As a gay rights activist and small business owner and anti bush advocate, I advertised on their website. I suggest you inquire with them. I think it is funny and sends a message to Bush and also gives $100,000 to charity.

While the world is awaiting for the dust to settle on the direction of pixel advertisement, I am seeing a great protential in using it as a vehicle for site promotion.

Picture tells a thousand words Why do web browser took over text-based lynx and multimedia-messaging-service(mms) replacing short-messaging-service(sms)? Its all because of graphics and we human are visual being. Pixel Advert adds another dimension to your content portal/blog where visitors can view all your link partners in a graphical form. Whilst the old method of link exchange promotes only search engines’ link popularity ranking, Pixel Ads may actually generates human outbound traffic from site visitors.

Having said that, I am now experimenting new site promotion via Free Pixel Ad For Site Promotion. We’ll will wait and see if this can eventually take off and become future trend of site promotion strategy.

Devon internet businessman and web designer Alan Wheeler has launched an innovative web advertising service which has already attracted an international company to sign up.

Bovey Tracey based Mr Wheeler has also been asked by Australian charity ‘Hope for Children’ to help them design and set up a similar web-based advertising service.

His web-service http://www.millionairepixels.co.uk enables businesses to buy a square of pixels, on the web page. Customers click on the coloured pixels and are immediately transported to the advertiser’s web site.

With each block of 100 pixels costing just £60 (60p per unit) it is, believes Mr Wheeler, one of the best value advertising and promotion options for businesses of all sizes and a potentially valuable boost to tourism related services.

And, in the longer term, advertisers could end up bidding for space on what is being described as internet ‘real estate’.

Mr Wheeler, aged 42, said “It’s a quick and easy way for people to find a service or firm and it also gives competitive advantage to the businesses because, with the millions of web sites available, this will draw potential customers to them much more easily.”

“Without a doubt there are people globally willing to pay for quite gimmicky advertising solutions. The internet is a fast moving place with over eight million web pages added on a daily basis. For a website to stand out and generate sales it needs to stand out from the rest,” he added

Last autumn university student Alex Tew set up the Million Dollar site and since then has been overwhelmed by the success of a venture intended to raise enough money to pay for his way through university.

Alan Wheeler’s http://www.millionairepixels.co.uk is, he says, the next big step in the concept because, in effect, businesses are ‘leasing’ virtual real estate on the web to promote their businesses.

Launched just two weeks ago, http://www.millionairepixels.co.uk has already won the backing of international business Optis Europe Ltd, an operations management company, which is using the site to promote its business.

With more customers advertising it is, says Mr Wheeler, inevitable that like real property, some of the pixels on his site will become increasingly valuable for their ‘owners’ as more business is generated.

However, the last 1200 pixels, or advertising blocks, will eventually be auctioned off in support of the Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, said Mr Wheeler.

Well ….. here is the best I have ever seen ….

I have also made a pixel advertising site where 75% of all the proceeds will go to charity. The URL is http://www.500khomepage.com. We also have a blog and have been google listed within 24 hours. If you are looking for somewhere to advertise please consider The 500k Homepage

I like what Alex did on his homepage, but I do not like how hard it is too see the smaller ads on his homepage. That is why I loved this one webpage when I came across it called Banners Bring Business at http://www.bannersbringbusiness.com They try to solve the problem of smaller 10×10 blocks by selling 88×31 blocks for the same price of $100. It is a neat spin off of a great idea.

I bought the big target in the centre of the MDHP, the daily response has been absolutely phenomenal (a peak of 5000 unique visitors a day). We’re just glad that we got in there early and took the chance with spending quite a lot of money on it. With regards to copycat sites – I’m looking for something with even 10% of the initiative, to no avail – any ideas???

third, they’d send out smoke signals to generate traffic to their site. they probably generated more traffic to their site in one week from a national magazine story to a national television spot than anybody else.
